About this scheme
The SIT Innovators Hackathon 2026 is a 24-hour hackathon organized by AIC T-Hub Foundation in partnership with Shetty Institute of Technology (SIT) in Kalaburagi, Karnataka. It serves as a launchpad for students and early-stage startup teams to build technology solutions, pitch to industry experts, and earn a pathway into T-Hub's startup ecosystem.
Participants compete for a prize pool worth Rs. 1 lakh and gain access to T-Hub's prototyping labs, mentorship from industry experts, and MVP development support for the top three teams. The hackathon is positioned as an entry point into India's leading startup ecosystem, with a focus on AI, robotics, and cross-sector tech innovation.
The event is designed to bridge the gap between academic innovation and market-ready product development, particularly for founders and student teams from tier-2 and tier-3 cities who may not otherwise have access to a top-tier incubator network. The in-person format at SIT Kalaburagi makes it accessible to the Karnataka startup community beyond Bengaluru.
